Hi,
I have a problem with my layout. Im very new to CMSMS and tried a lot to find out how the menumanager works, but I cant find out how to do what I want.
My website has its mainmenu below the header graphic. The submenu-items should be listed on the left of the content. Is there a sample somewhere I can modify? I havent found a tutorial how to create a menu with all these {foreach...} things etc. Is there any?
Would be great if somebody could help.
If u need any more information, tell me. Im running the 1.02 version at the moment.

Adding these two items will give you the CSS top menu and a sub-navigation on the left side. Make sure you are using the correct stylesheets. They are Navigation: Simple - Vertical, Navigation: CSSMenu - Horizontal and Layout: Top menu + 2 columns.
Under your main layout template add this content under Start Navigation:
Navigation
{menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}
Then add this content to your Content area:
Sub Navigation
{menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' start_level='2' collapse='1'}
{global_content name='print'}
{print showbutton=true script=true}
{title}
{content}
{anchor anchor='main' text='^ Top'}
{cms_selflink dir="previous" label="Previous page: "}
{cms_selflink dir="next"}

Ok, too complicated for me
I made it simple and just used 2 different menu-templates and put each on one side. Sounds easier to me.
Thank you for your help anyway.

I've been trying something similar ...
... main menu on the left (vertical)
... a horiz sub menu at the top
I changed the template code as recommended ...
Navigation
{menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}
Then add this content to your Content area:
Sub Navigation
{menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' start_level='2' collapse='1'}
But what I don't understand is where do you assign certain menu items to levels? I tried making menu items 'children' but his just makes them appear in the submenu when that parent page menu link is checked.
What I want is for the submenu to be visible on every page not just its parent page. How's that done? What am I missing here?
